I have a second blog, Writopia which focuses on Dan Brown's pattern of falsehoods and embellishment of his personal achievements.

Another "Lay Reader" Weighs In On Plagiarism

"Daughter of God by Lewis Perdue (2000), is close enough in plot and content that there has been legal accusation of plagiarism against Brown by Perdue. I read the Perdue book also, and I do find significant similarities. Perdue identifies over thirty "elements." However, if you want more thrills and shoot-em-ups, read Daughter of God."Read the whole post.

Well, I do know that random House sent out more than 10,000 ARCs (that's Advance Reading Copies for the non-publishing readers) to bookstores and others ... that is an astounding number and is responsible for a large part of the book's promo success ...

Just home after an extended trip (since May 22) that took me to Mississippi twice to help organize the Books 'n Blues events (http://www.booksnblues.org), to NYC for Book Expo, to Colorado Springgs for a surprise 75th birthday party for a good friend and Lake Tahoe for some vacation for the family.

We have intense interest for the investigative biography of Dan Brown and the whole DVCode issue and I'm finishing up the proposal and should have a contract soon.
